I would have to say that they have trained the masses to be emotional, reactive rather than intellectual.

The FLOOD of information/disinformation plays an imporant aspect here, in that it is too OVERWHELMING for the brain to handle, so shut-down mode is achieved.

Just what they want.

Disrupting the cognitive brain functions. Ability to decipher and come to critical analysis. To see reality.

Playing on emotions is a very important aspect of "mind control" programming. It is interference. They display this on a daily basis with right vs. left argumentative discussions. Resolution is never achieved.

The evidence of the role that "emotional tinkering" plays is evident as in my case. Perhaps, here on this board, another forum, but also that which was deployed upon me in the past as well.
